Brad Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 This is not necessarily what you are looking to buy, just what the top overall deals are this year. I get asked this in a lot of media interviews and I want to see what the GottaDeal community thinks is the best, so help me out
jakesmommy403 Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 The stand-outs to me are the Kmart TVs, the Skylanders Giants pack for $39 at Walmart, that Nabi that everyone is flipping out over at Walmart, and thats all that's coming to me off the top of my head. For me personally, I find the deals on Craftsman tools at Kmart very attractive.
Illinoismom Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 Tv's are always a gotta have, same with laptops, But there are some excellent sales on jeans, boots, movies, boxed sets. there is enough in the ads for just about every one, I am going to petsmart for a lizard habitat reg $ 179.99 now $ 89.99 my son wants a new Geco
Elmck Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 I hear lots of talk about the Nabi 2 also. The sheets and towels are good deals too.
tinkrbel Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 I've seen a few 1080p tvs for $97 or slightly higher for a little more. the bluray combo packs for 8.98-9.99 even 12.99 is a pretty good price for these. the buy 1 get 2 free items at Walgreens candles, glasses, etc
racerfan Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 I think the 50" at Sears for $299 is a good deal.
Thumper501 Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 I think the 50" at Sears for $299 is a good deal.The doorbuster LED one is definitely a good deal!
shopping4my3son Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 Tablets must be a top item. There's almost 30,000 views of the tablet thread here. Another one seems to be cell phones.
BridgeIU Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 I don't want to share - then everyone will want it!! Really tho - the Skylanders Giants pack for $39 at Walmart.
Brad Posted November 13, 2012 Author Posted November 13, 2012 Thanks for the ideas so far, keep them coming (and try to be specific if possible with the actual store/item/price). This is really going to help.
momlori Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 The fact that Kohls is opening online shopping on Wednesday morning before Thanksgiving (not really a deal - but still really good from my point of view)
starbeck96 Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 I definitely agree with the Nabi 2 tablet at Walmart for 129.00. It is a savings of 70.00. I also agree with the 97.00 TV at Kmart. Many people want an inexpensive TV to put in their kids' room, so this is perfect.
julieb Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 Hey Brad, here is my list and my reasons... Nabi 2 $129 at Walmart...seems to be the "IT" kids tablet this year completely knocking leap frog, kurio, etc out of the park... Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 179 PLUS $20 gc Best Buy....I think in general these will be popular because they are all over the ads. That will drive the demand, people will think they need one! Skylanders Giants 38.96 Walmart...new game...I have an 8 year boy...need I say more? 40" TV 198.00 Walmart......people are going to flock to this because it is "guaranteed"...they are going to be fights, this is a disaster waiting to happen... 50" tv 349.00 Target...that is a lot of tv for not a lot of buck....great for people that can't normally afford a large tv because of the price, but I say be weary of the brand....research, research, research Wii 99 Sears....great deal for a gaming system under $100..comes with two games, they can also pair it with a $10 game from Walmart, and call it good! ORWii 119 Target....same system but includes a fun dance game and then you don't have to hit two different stores.... Kindle Fire 159/plus $30 gc BB....a nice e-reader for around $150 bucks PLUS the gift card which means the purchaser can use the gc towards another gift... AND finally, I LOVE that the stores are opening on Thursday evening. Getting up at 2am just doesn't work well for me. We do Thanksgiving lunch, so we can eat and then go out ready to shop. I understand that people are upset about stores being open on Thanksgiving BUT this is retail. Wal-Mart has been open 24/hours for a while now and when somebody applies there, they know that is a possibility. Right after college, I worked for Southwest Airlines, we had to work holidays. I knew that when I applied and I don't recall people feeling sorry for me. I smartened up, became an educator and have better holiday hours!
Illinoismom Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 (edited) When I look at the ads I look at the ages of who I have to buy, do I want to buy one present or several for the person I am buying for. Gordmans caught my eye for little things, Hanging jewelry organizer 6.99, angel jeans 12.99,sweaters 8.99 yoga pants 4.99, awesome gifts for the teen girls in the family JC penney has an awesome price on boots 25.00 & 15.00 Walmart Bluray 38.00, laptop 179.00,wireless mouse 8.00,Wii and xbox games 25.00,10.00 & 15.00,movies starting @1.96 and box sets for 9.96, Remote control car for 10.00, baby alive 15.00, fleese pants 6.00, slippers 6.00, griddle 9.44, HP printer 39.00, inflatables 15.00, Thursday morning k-mart 97.00 tv tablets 39.99, Best buy wall mount for tv 29.99, xbox and wii games 24.99, memory cards 8g 6.99, thats some of what i am looking for can change who knows but these things caught my eye forgot Petsmart reptile care reg 179.99 Friday 89.99 Bonton ( younkers) willow tree items for my Nativity set % off Edited November 13, 2012 by Illinoismom
ObiRich Posted November 14, 2012 Posted November 14, 2012 Sams club with the 65" Visio for $998Walmart for the Sharp 70" for $1798. Both are tempting me severely, especially since DW gave her permission. Told her to DON'T GIVE ME PERMISSION!!!
kklracing Posted November 14, 2012 Posted November 14, 2012 I like the Free after Rewards items at Walgreens and CVS.
HansieDZ Posted November 14, 2012 Posted November 14, 2012 I like the Free after Rewards items at Walgreens and CVS.Those are my ideas of deals,too
rldelo Posted November 14, 2012 Posted November 14, 2012 The .96 Galaxy S3 at SAMs. That's going to save us $360 (400 - 40 for a membership) if we can score two. I'm curious how they'll handle activation; it's not like the process is ever quick. But it's worth the try given the savings. We want to stay with Verizon, so this deal looks like our only option so far. We're actively looking at new phones and are out of contract, so it's perfect timing. Two years ago my phone was ruined during a rainy wait outside a TRU on Black Friday, so now well always be ready for our upgrades around this shopping holiday .
NicM987 Posted November 14, 2012 Posted November 14, 2012 Not for me buttttt I bet people will go crazy over that gift card deal at Wal-Mart for the iPad, also because its "guaranteed". I can only imagine how smoothly that's going to run...
breandmia Posted November 16, 2012 Posted November 16, 2012 Hey Brad, here is my list and my reasons... 40" TV 198.00 Walmart......people are going to flock to this because it is "guaranteed"...they are going to be fights, this is a disaster waiting to happen... The 40' inch TV is not part of the gurantee is it? I thought it was the 32inch for $147?
DivaOfDeals Posted November 19, 2012 Posted November 19, 2012 The 60" TV at Wal Mart and some of the other TVs seem to be the best deals in my opinion, but unfortunately I don't need a TV right now. There are low prices on laptops, which I am shopping for, but I'm disappointed at the specs on them so not very good deals even though the prices are good. I am also impressed with the $60 video games on sale at Best Buy for $35 and hope to snag some of those. All in all, I don't think the deals are as good as I would expect this year and don't seem as good as in the past. I wish more stores gave away free stuff or free stuff with purchase.
